The approaching Christmas celebration brings memories back to my life in 1959 as a student at the Villa des Fougeres. This was my first Christmas away from my family. It was the beginning of seeing a bigger world while reflecting back on my family’s activities that would be occuring in my home on Christmas day in Glen Ellyn, Illinois. I spent Christmas day in the beautiful picturesque village of Zermatt, Switzerland, skiing where the only transportation available were sleighs. It snowed all day. It was magical. I felt as if I were living in a scene from a Christmas card!
